I agree with you totally on your last post however, given the op-tempo of the last decade it kind of makes you wonder who's augmenting whom. Again not disagreeing with you but it would make you think the USMC might want to reconsider a "strike force" option after all that's the reason they kept the
LAV-AD around longer then they wanted because they stripped them of their missiles and used the launchers to carry extra DPU rounds for direct ground support (You might remember the video I posted.). After all that's why the USAF has all those nice C-117s. But we have them because they are the best combat troops in the world at what they do and they have not only the past but current history to fall on.

Anyway forgot one for the last post though I'm hesitate to post it as it involves Finland, well OK not really...
FINLAND/MOD XA-180/OCT 2015 should allow for enough numbers to be available as needed. When keys words such as "new external surfacing" are used that tells me a 10% gratis increase in armor protection is probably warranted. General ground performance should probably be looked at as well over the existing UNITS.

USA/BRADLEY/ALL TYPES/MAIN GUN CONSIDERATION...Well I work with a diverse group of folks from the military. We got to talking about the game which lead to the BRADLEY as he served in them in Korea and Iraq. Did we know the main gun is dual feed with an HE
and AP belt of ammo? I believe each belt holds either 500 or 800 Rds (Will confirm later today when I go back to work.) with two more belts of each for reload, I believe the simplest fix is to balance equally both types of ammo available to the game units. I do not know if the game engine would (or does now) allow auto target ammo selection much as the gunner does in real life with the auto selector on the real gun. "Jake" did tell me anything less then an up armored HUMVEE type vehicle got the HE treatment and everything else got AP rounds including hardened defensive positions. Just curious, I had this conversation about three weeks ago.
Anyway Good Night-gotta hit it again starting tomorrow.

Pat
